Something More Than Free is the follow up to Isbell’s 2013 celebrated breakthrough album Southeastern, which went on to sell over 150,000 copies. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit made multiple television appearances, including The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan and Austin City Limits. Isbell won Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Cover Me Up”) and Album of the Year at the 2014 Americana Music Awards. Jason and his wife Amanda Shires appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman on April 24.
The success of Southeastern was the product of good old-fashioned hard work. Much like the working class subjects in his songs, Isbell hit the road with his band The 400 Unit. Audiences grew as venue sizes expanded with sold out shows throughout the U.S. and Europe, including New York’s Beacon Theatre and three sold out nights at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, where an unprecedented four-night stand has been announced for October 23-26. See tour dates below.
Something More Than Free was recorded at the Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN and produced by Dave Cobb, who also produced Southeastern. Follow Jason on Twitter @jasonisbell or visit http://www.jasonisbell.com
